Did you know about the Old New Year In some countries like Ukraine Belarus and Serbia we celebrate the Old New Year on the night of January 13th to 14th This tradition comes from the difference between the Julian old and Gregorian new calendars which adds up to 13 days It s similar to the regular New Year celebration with festive dinners family gatherings and sometimes even fireworks For many it s a chance to reflect on their resolutions or enjoy the holiday spirit one last time before January fully kicks in So well Happy New Year
